Our visual planning app reduces task and time blindness through routines, reminders and mood communication. It’s built to help users plan their day with structure and calm.

What makes Thruday different from other ADHD planner apps?

Unlike traditional calendar apps, Thruday is designed for neurodivergent users first – not big corporate teams or generic scheduling.

Here’s how Thruday stands apart:

  • Visual-first interface: Plan your day with thousands of emoji-style icons and colour-coded tasks instead of abstract text blocks
  • Mood + routine awareness: Track how you’re feeling and see how your emotional state evolves throughout the day
  • Assistant access: Invite carers, parents, or professionals to help manage your day in real time
  • Free core access: Thruday’s base version is completely free and comes with everything you need to succeed — no ads or trials
  • Made by a neurodivergent founder: The app is created by someone who understands the challenges of ADHD, Autism, and executive dysfunction first-hand
  • Thruday isn’t just about productivity — it’s about support, emotional safety, and cognitive accessibility.

    Can Thruday help children or teens with Autism or ADHD?

    Our app is not just for adults. Its well-suited for children and teens living with Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Epilepsy, ADD or similar neurodivergent traits that can make forgetting things a regular occurrence.

    Our app includes

    • A visual, emoji-based daily planner that’s easier for younger users to understand
    • Mood tracking using simple colours (traffic-light system)
    • Reminders and visual routines that reduce anxiety and time-blindness
    • Assistant access, allowing trusted adults (parents, carers, teachers) to help with daily planning

    Many parents and professionals use Thruday to build structure and predictability, which is especially helpful for children who thrive on routine or need extra help managing transitions.

    Can I use Thruday with a support worker, coach or therapist?

    Thruday’s “Assistant” feature makes it easy to collaborate with a support worker, therapist, or case manager.

    Here’s how it works:

    1. Invite your support worker or therapist via their email from your profile dashboard
    2. Once they accept, they can:
      • View your planner and mood updates in real time
      • Help you build or adjust your daily routine
      • Offer remote support and structure when you’re struggling
      • See how your mood and tasks are progressing across the week

    Because assistants can see emotional patterns and missed tasks without needing to ask constantly, it reduces overwhelm and improves communication, especially for those who find verbal check-ins exhausting.

    Thruday becomes a shared space for planning and reflection helping you and your support team stay in sync, even if you’re not in the same room.

    Can I track moods and communicate feelings visually?

    Absolutely. The built-in mood tracker app uses a simple colour-coded system to share how you feel — ideal for ADHD, Autism and executive-function challenges.

    Does Thruday send reminders or alerts?

    Yes! Thruday sends notifications to all of your signed in devices that have been granted notification permissions.

    • Set time-based reminders for to-dos
    • Get push notifications when it’s time to change activities
    • Customize how often you’re reminded or nudged

    More features are always being added too designed to keep you focused.
